studio | treating cradled panel sides

Recently I decided to stop painting the sides of my encaustic paintings. The process proved too time consuming, for one thing. A bit of research led to this product by Howard. It's much easier, faster to apply, and more economical than primer and black paint. Best of all, I like the results. You can see what it looks like applied: middle image shows before (painting on left) and after (painting on right).

Howard Feed-N-Wax is available on Amazon's website, where I purchased mine.

Martha,Yes, the taping is time consuming, isn't it! I've gotten a bit faster with that task, and I do like the look of clean sides, so.. This is by far the easiest solution I've found. And I like the natural wood, too.
